We certainly lacked a bit of chase and forward line pressure against the Eagles, so I'd like to see Jetta given another run, but in place of whom? Maric clearly played his most promising game of his short career thus far. Robbo is an automatica starter (but probably has to do more this week, something like a bag of 5 or 6).

As for the defensive half, it's a pity Frawley got injured, as his height (although not a factor against a smallish Bulldog forwardline) and mobility would have been extremely handy. I'd expect Cheney to come in this week as well.

I'd definitely drop Bate, as his chasing the other day was non exsistent and he didn't seem particularly interested at all. Furthermore, even though Sylvia played in patches the other day, as a 6 year player should be starting to play consistant football, rather than in patches, so I'd give him a run in the 2s as well (perhaps a direct swap for Jetta?).

Grimes showed some good signs against the Eagles. He's worth another run this week.

I love Macca, but his skills let him down too often to be captain for the long term (yes, I know he may even retire after this year). The man that leads the team consistently every week is 'Flash' Davey. He does the chasing, the smothering and 90%, if not more, of his disposals are effective. He is now playing almost the Luke Hodge quarterback role, except running around by himself. He leads from the front and should be rewarded. Okay, so last year wasn't his best season, but he's not alone there.

I suppose my second vote would be for Greeny. That said, on this seasons performance, Aaron's so far ahead it's not funny (even though Greeny has been injured).
